Venezuelan men have been deported by the U.S. to El Salvador.A document shows that tattoos and clothing were used by immigrant officials to determine gang membership.

Venezuelan asylum-seeker Franco Caraballo is believed among the alleged gang members controversially deported to El Salvador last weekend by the Trump administration. WLRN has reviewed papers that show he has no criminal record in the U.S. or in Venezuela, and that ICE based his removal on a tattoo. His attorney has called it a “flagrant violation” of his civil rights.
